While the idea that Greenland suddenly left after somebody voted for him is awkward, I must admit that the idea behind the vote is a bit absurd. A random vote turning into a lynch train isn't really anything that should be our lead for the day, considering there are still people that need to post (and a lot, at that). I don't see the value in that train.
Based on the Day 1 statistics, here's what we have in terms of posting...

FM Thailand: 11

FM Pakistan: 9
FM Ireland: 9
FM Canada: 9
FM China: 9
FM Italy: 8
FM Kenya: 8
FM Poland: 7
FM Germany: 5
FM England: 5
FM USA: 5
FM Saudi Arabia: 3
FM Iran: 2
FM Spain: 1
FM Costa Rica: 1
FM Egypt: 1
FM Australia: 1
FM Switzerland: 1
Based on this, voting for Greenland based on activity is completely ridiculous, as he was one of the three most active people during Day 1. Granted, a lot of the Day 1 posts were trolling anyway, but I don't see the worth in voting for him, even if he did leave after a random vote. On the topic of a random vote, it's essentially the same kind of thing I'm seeing as what happened on Day 1; votes are going to get thrown around, and there aren't going to be responses to those votes. Now, that's beside the point I'm trying to get at. If we're going to vote based on activity, then we should either be voting for either Switzerland, Costa Rica, Spain, Iran, or USA (I'm leaving Egypt and Saudi Arabia out of this because they are actively posting right now).
Now, the role blocking last night is a decent development, but yet again, it could easily be a Drug Dealer. Though, it's doubtful, as that is an easy idea to see through, considering the notification would be fake. I don't see it happening in this case. If either of my notifications are fake, then I'd have to go with the Attacked and Healed notification over the Witched notification; as you can all see, I brought a bit of a profile to myself during the first day, and unless I brought a major suspicion onto somebody -- enough for them to have the urge to attack me on Night 1, where everything will tend to dissolve anyway (though I'm not seeing any dissolving of Day 1 ideas, which isn't entirely a bad thing, but not entirely a good thing either, the way I see it) -- there really wouldn't be any way for that to be possible. Granted, a Doctor being on me may be a better chance of a killer being on me, but both at once seems a bit far fetched. Now, the problem with the Witched notification (if it isn't faked) is finding out who exactly I visited. Granted, it isn't going to be any problem right now, but it'd be a nice little tidbit for later on. If both notifications are real, then we're looking at some sort of killing neutral (possibly Mass Murderer, due to the potential of the Witched notification being real) and a Witch, which brings our scum count up to 5 as a guarantee, and based on the win condition of the roles, we could see a joint effort with the Mafia, which is never good for us.
Onto South Korea's Vigilante claim...there really isn't any reason to believe it, but there isn't any reason not to believe it either. If they claim to have shot a scum Night 1 due to activity, then I guess we'll take it for what it's worth. There's a very low chance that their target was also suited on the same night, so I'm willing to believe that Australia is actually scum, and not some other role, which is a great head start for us, since a one for one trade is good for us no matter what, even if we did lose a Detective in the process. I'm willing to go more to the positive side for South Korea right now, as it will give us a bit of an idea of what all we can base our daytime strategy off of today.
However, I'm not going to follow either lynch train; I'm going to go with the players who have seemed to be lurking a bit more as a pressure vote to get them to post more proactively.
-vote FM Spain
No other real reason for the vote besides inactivity.
Upon looking at the conversation that has occurred while I made this post, it seems that Switzerland is also under pressure for activity. It'll be good for us to get them to start posting more, though it may also prove to be a bit of a challenge at the same time. We can't really force people to be active other than lynch, and if that ends up happening, we may as well just lynch them anyway.
